1 # Configuration Cheat Sheet
3 This is a cheat sheet for Pleroma configuration file, any setting possible to configure should be listed here.
5 For OTP installations the configuration is typically stored in `/etc/pleroma/config.exs`.
7 For from source installations Pleroma configuration works by first importing the base config `config/config.exs`, then overriding it by the environment config `config/$MIX_ENV.exs` and then overriding it by user config `config/$MIX_ENV.secret.exs`. In from source installations you should always make the changes to the user config and NEVER to the base config to avoid breakages and merge conflicts. So for production you change/add configuration to `config/prod.secret.exs`.
9 To add configuration to your config file, you can copy it from the base config. The latest version of it can be viewed [here](https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/blob/develop/config/config.exs). You can also use this file if you don't know how an option is supposed to be formatted.

526 the source code is here: [kocaptcha](https://github.com/koto-bank/kocaptcha). The default endpoint
527 `https://captcha.kotobank.ch` is hosted by the developer.
529 * `endpoint`: the Kocaptcha endpoint to use.
535 * `uploader`: Which one of the [uploaders](#uploaders) to use.
536 * `filters`: List of [upload filters](#upload-filters) to use.
537 * `link_name`: When enabled Pleroma will add a `name` parameter to the url of the upload, for example `https://instance.tld/media/corndog.png?name=corndog.png`. This is needed to provide the correct filename in Content-Disposition headers when using filters like `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe`
538 * `base_url`: The base URL to access a user-uploaded file. Useful when you want to proxy the media files via another host.
539 * `proxy_remote`: If you're using a remote uploader, Pleroma will proxy media requests instead of redirecting to it.
540 * `proxy_opts`: Proxy options, see `Pleroma.ReverseProxy` documentation.
541 * `filename_display_max_length`: Set max length of a filename to display. 0 = no limit. Default: 30.
544 `strip_exif` has been replaced by `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify`.
548 #### Pleroma.Uploaders.Local
550 * `uploads`: Which directory to store the user-uploads in, relative to pleroma’s working directory.
552 #### Pleroma.Uploaders.S3
554 Don't forget to configure [Ex AWS S3](#ex-aws-s3-settings)
556 * `bucket`: S3 bucket name.
557 * `bucket_namespace`: S3 bucket namespace.
558 * `public_endpoint`: S3 endpoint that the user finally accesses(ex. "https://s3.dualstack.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com")
559 * `truncated_namespace`: If you use S3 compatible service such as Digital Ocean Spaces or CDN, set folder name or "" etc.
560 For example, when using CDN to S3 virtual host format, set "".
561 At this time, write CNAME to CDN in public_endpoint.
562 * `streaming_enabled`: Enable streaming uploads, when enabled the file will be sent to the server in chunks as it's being read. This may be unsupported by some providers, try disabling this if you have upload problems.
564 #### Ex AWS S3 settings
566 * `access_key_id`: Access key ID
567 * `secret_access_key`: Secret access key
574 access_key_id: "xxxxxxxxxx",
575 secret_access_key: "yyyyyyyyyy",
576 host: "s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com"
581 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.AnonymizeFilename
583 This filter replaces the filename (not the path) of an upload. For complete obfuscation, add
584 `Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe` before AnonymizeFilename.
586 * `text`: Text to replace filenames in links. If empty, `{random}.extension` will be used. You can get the original filename extension by using `{extension}`, for example `custom-file-name.{extension}`.
588 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Dedupe
590 No specific configuration.
592 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Exiftool
594 This filter only strips the GPS and location metadata with Exiftool leaving color profiles and attributes intact.
596 No specific configuration.
598 #### Pleroma.Upload.Filter.Mogrify
600 * `args`: List of actions for the `mogrify` command like `"strip"` or `["strip", "auto-orient", {"implode", "1"}]`.
604 ### Pleroma.Emails.Mailer
605 * `adapter`: one of the mail adapters listed in [Swoosh readme](https://github.com/swoosh/swoosh#adapters), or `Swoosh.Adapters.Local` for in-memory mailbox.
606 * `api_key` / `password` and / or other adapter-specific settings, per the above documentation.
607 * `enabled`: Allows enable/disable send emails. Default: `false`.
609 An example for Sendgrid adapter:
612 config :pleroma, Pleroma.Emails.Mailer,
614 adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.Sendgrid,
615 api_key: "YOUR_API_KEY"
618 An example for SMTP adapter:
621 config :pleroma, Pleroma.Emails.Mailer,
623 adapter: Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP,
624 relay: "smtp.gmail.com",
625 username: "YOUR_USERNAME@gmail.com",
626 password: "YOUR_SMTP_PASSWORD",
632 ### :email_notifications
634 Email notifications settings.
636 - digest - emails of "what you've missed" for users who have been
637 inactive for a while.
638 - active: globally enable or disable digest emails
639 - schedule: When to send digest email, in [crontab format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron).
640 "0 0 * * 0" is the default, meaning "once a week at midnight on Sunday morning"
641 - interval: Minimum interval between digest emails to one user
642 - inactivity_threshold: Minimum user inactivity threshold
644 ### Pleroma.Emails.UserEmail
646 - `:logo` - a path to a custom logo. Set it to `nil` to use the default Pleroma logo.
647 - `:styling` - a map with color settings for email templates.
649 ### Pleroma.Emails.NewUsersDigestEmail
651 - `:enabled` - a boolean, enables new users admin digest email when `true`. Defaults to `false`.
657 [Oban](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban) asynchronous job processor configuration.
659 Configuration options described in [Oban readme](https://github.com/sorentwo/oban#usage):
661 * `repo` - app's Ecto repo (`Pleroma.Repo`)
662 * `log` - logs verbosity
663 * `queues` - job queues (see below)
664 * `crontab` - periodic jobs, see [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)
666 Pleroma has the following queues:
668 * `activity_expiration` - Activity expiration
669 * `federator_outgoing` - Outgoing federation
670 * `federator_incoming` - Incoming federation
671 * `mailer` - Email sender, see [`Pleroma.Emails.Mailer`](#pleromaemailsmailer)
672 * `transmogrifier` - Transmogrifier
673 * `web_push` - Web push notifications
674 * `scheduled_activities` - Scheduled activities, see [`Pleroma.ScheduledActivity`](#pleromascheduledactivity)
678 Pleroma has these periodic job workers:
680 `Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker` - a job worker to cleanup expired oauth tokens.
685 config :pleroma, Oban,
688 prune: {:maxlen, 1500},
690 federator_incoming: 50,
691 federator_outgoing: 50
694 {"0 0 * * *", Pleroma.Workers.Cron.ClearOauthTokenWorker}
698 This config contains two queues: `federator_incoming` and `federator_outgoing`. Both have the number of max concurrent jobs set to `50`.
700 #### Migrating `pleroma_job_queue` settings
702 `config :pleroma_job_queue, :queues` is replaced by `config :pleroma, Oban, :queues` and uses the same format (keys are queues' names, values are max concurrent jobs numbers).
706 Includes custom worker options not interpretable directly by `Oban`.
708 * `retries` — keyword lists where keys are `Oban` queues (see above) and values are numbers of max attempts for failed jobs.
713 config :pleroma, :workers,
715 federator_incoming: 5,
716 federator_outgoing: 5
720 #### Migrating `Pleroma.Web.Federator.RetryQueue` settings
722 * `max_retries` is replaced with `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 5]`
723 * `enabled: false` corresponds to `config :pleroma, :workers, retries: [federator_outgoing: 1]`
724 * deprecated options: `max_jobs`, `initial_timeout`
726 ## :web_push_encryption, :vapid_details
728 Web Push Notifications configuration. You can use the mix task `mix web_push.gen.keypair` to generate it.
730 * ``subject``: a mailto link for the administrative contact. It’s best if this email is not a personal email address, but rather a group email so that if a person leaves an organization, is unavailable for an extended period, or otherwise can’t respond, someone else on the list can.
731 * ``public_key``: VAPID public key
732 * ``private_key``: VAPID private key
735 * `backends`: `:console` is used to send logs to stdout, `{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}` to log to syslog, and `Quack.Logger` to log to Slack
737 An example to enable ONLY ExSyslogger (f/ex in ``prod.secret.exs``) with info and debug suppressed:
740 backends: [{ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
742 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
746 Another example, keeping console output and adding the pid to syslog output:
749 backends: [:console, {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}]
751 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
753 option: [:pid, :ndelay]
756 See: [logger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/logger/Logger.html) and [ex_syslogger’s documentation](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_syslogger/)
758 An example of logging info to local syslog, but warn to a Slack channel:
761 backends: [ {ExSyslogger, :ex_syslogger}, Quack.Logger ],
764 config :logger, :ex_syslogger,
767 format: "$metadata[$level] $message"
772 webhook_url: "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR-API-KEY-HERE"
775 See the [Quack Github](https://github.com/azohra/quack) for more details
781 ### RUM indexing for full text search
784 It is recommended to use PostgreSQL v11 or newer. We have seen some minor issues with lower PostgreSQL versions.
786 * `rum_enabled`: If RUM indexes should be used. Defaults to `false`.
788 RUM indexes are an alternative indexing scheme that is not included in PostgreSQL by default. While they may eventually be mainlined, for now they have to be installed as a PostgreSQL extension from https://github.com/postgrespro/rum.
790 Their advantage over the standard GIN indexes is that they allow efficient ordering of search results by timestamp, which makes search queries a lot faster on larger servers, by one or two orders of magnitude. They take up around 3 times as much space as GIN indexes.
792 To enable them, both the `rum_enabled` flag has to be set and the following special migration has to be run:
794 `mix ecto.migrate --migrations-path priv/repo/optional_migrations/rum_indexing/`
796 This will probably take a long time.
798 ## Alternative client protocols
802 To enable simple command line interface accessible over ssh, add a setting like this to your configuration file:
806 priv_dir = Path.join([app_dir, "priv/ssh_keys"])
811 handler: "Pleroma.BBS.Handler",
813 password_authenticator: "Pleroma.BBS.Authenticator"
816 Feel free to adjust the priv_dir and port number. Then you will have to create the key for the keys (in the example `priv/ssh_keys`) and create the host keys with `ssh-keygen -m PEM -N "" -b 2048 -t rsa -f ssh_host_rsa_key`. After restarting, you should be able to connect to your Pleroma instance with `ssh username@server -p $PORT`
819 * `enabled`: Enables the gopher interface
820 * `ip`: IP address to bind to
821 * `port`: Port to bind to
822 * `dstport`: Port advertised in urls (optional, defaults to `port`)
829 Allows to set a token that can be used to authenticate with the admin api without using an actual user by giving it as the `admin_token` parameter or `x-admin-token` HTTP header. Example:
832 config :pleroma, :admin_token, "somerandomtoken"
838 curl "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites?admin_token=somerandomtoken"
844 curl -H "X-Admin-Token: somerandomtoken" "http://localhost:4000/api/pleroma/admin/users/invites"
847 Warning: it's discouraged to use this feature because of the associated security risk: static / rarely changed instance-wide token is much weaker compared to email-password pair of a real admin user; consider using HTTP Basic Auth or OAuth-based authentication instead.
851 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
852 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.
854 Authentication / authorization settings.
856 * `auth_template`: authentication form template. By default it's `show.html` which corresponds to `lib/pleroma/web/templates/o_auth/o_auth/show.html.eex`.
857 * `oauth_consumer_template`: OAuth consumer mode authentication form template. By default it's `consumer.html` which corresponds to `lib/pleroma/web/templates/o_auth/o_auth/consumer.html.eex`.
858 * `oauth_consumer_strategies`: the list of enabled OAuth consumer strategies; by default it's set by `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable. Each entry in this space-delimited string should be of format `<strategy>` or `<strategy>:<dependency>` (e.g. `twitter` or `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` in case dependency is named differently than `ueberauth_<strategy>`).
860 ### Pleroma.Web.Auth.Authenticator
862 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.PleromaAuthenticator`: default database authenticator.
863 * `Pleroma.Web.Auth.LDAPAuthenticator`: LDAP authentication.
867 Use LDAP for user authentication. When a user logs in to the Pleroma
868 instance, the name and password will be verified by trying to authenticate
869 (bind) to an LDAP server. If a user exists in the LDAP directory but there
870 is no account with the same name yet on the Pleroma instance then a new
871 Pleroma account will be created with the same name as the LDAP user name.
873 * `enabled`: enables LDAP authentication
874 * `host`: LDAP server hostname
875 * `port`: LDAP port, e.g. 389 or 636
876 * `ssl`: true to use SSL, usually implies the port 636
877 * `sslopts`: additional SSL options
878 * `tls`: true to start TLS, usually implies the port 389
879 * `tlsopts`: additional TLS options
880 * `base`: LDAP base, e.g. "dc=example,dc=com"
881 * `uid`: LDAP attribute name to authenticate the user, e.g. when "cn", the filter will be "cn=username,base"
883 ### OAuth consumer mode
885 OAuth consumer mode allows sign in / sign up via external OAuth providers (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc.).
886 Implementation is based on Ueberauth; see the list of [available strategies](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth/wiki/List-of-Strategies).
889 Each strategy is shipped as a separate dependency; in order to get the strategies, run `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES="..." mix deps.get`, e.g. `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES="twitter facebook google microsoft" mix deps.get`. The server should also be started with `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES="..." mix phx.server` in case you enable any strategies.
892 Each strategy requires separate setup (on external provider side and Pleroma side). Below are the guidelines on setting up most popular strategies.
895 Make sure that `"SameSite=Lax"` is set in `extra_cookie_attrs` when you have this feature enabled. OAuth consumer mode will not work with `"SameSite=Strict"`
897 * For Twitter, [register an app](https://developer.twitter.com/en/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/twitter/callback
899 * For Facebook, [register an app](https://developers.facebook.com/apps), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/facebook/callback, enable Facebook Login service at https://developers.facebook.com/apps/<app_id>/fb-login/settings/
901 * For Google, [register an app](https://console.developers.google.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/google/callback
903 * For Microsoft, [register an app](https://portal.azure.com), configure callback URL to https://<your_host>/oauth/microsoft/callback
905 Once the app is configured on external OAuth provider side, add app's credentials and strategy-specific settings (if any — e.g. see Microsoft below) to `config/prod.secret.exs`,
906 per strategy's documentation (e.g. [ueberauth_twitter](https://github.com/ueberauth/ueberauth_twitter)). Example config basing on environment variables:
910 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Twitter.OAuth,
911 consumer_key: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_KEY"),
912 consumer_secret: System.get_env("TWITTER_CONSUMER_SECRET")
915 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Facebook.OAuth,
916 client_id: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_ID"),
917 client_secret: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_APP_SECRET"),
918 redirect_uri: System.get_env("FACEBOOK_REDIRECT_URI")
921 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Google.OAuth,
922 client_id: System.get_env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID"),
923 client_secret: System.get_env("GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET"),
924 redirect_uri: System.get_env("GOOGLE_REDIRECT_URI")
927 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Microsoft.OAuth,
928 client_id: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_ID"),
929 client_secret: System.get_env("MICROSOFT_CLIENT_SECRET")
931 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
933 microsoft: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Microsoft, [callback_params: []]}
937 # Note: make sure to add `keycloak:ueberauth_keycloak_strategy` entry to `OAUTH_CONSUMER_STRATEGIES` environment variable
938 keycloak_url = "https://publicly-reachable-keycloak-instance.org:8080"
940 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak.OAuth,
941 client_id: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_ID"),
942 client_secret: System.get_env("KEYCLOAK_CLIENT_SECRET"),
944 authorize_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/auth",
945 token_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/token",
946 userinfo_url: "#{keycloak_url}/auth/realms/master/protocol/openid-connect/userinfo",
949 config :ueberauth, Ueberauth,
951 keycloak: {Ueberauth.Strategy.Keycloak, [uid_field: :email]}
955 ### OAuth 2.0 provider - :oauth2
957 Configure OAuth 2 provider capabilities:
959 * `token_expires_in` - The lifetime in seconds of the access token.
960 * `issue_new_refresh_token` - Keeps old refresh token or generate new refresh token when to obtain an access token.
961 * `clean_expired_tokens` - Enable a background job to clean expired oauth tokens. Defaults to `false`. Interval settings sets in configuration periodic jobs [`Oban.Cron`](#obancron)
966 * `valid_schemes`: List of the scheme part that is considered valid to be an URL.
968 ### Pleroma.Formatter
970 Configuration for Pleroma's link formatter which parses mentions, hashtags, and URLs.
972 * `class` - specify the class to be added to the generated link (default: `false`)
973 * `rel` - specify the rel attribute (default: `ugc`)
974 * `new_window` - adds `target="_blank"` attribute (default: `false`)
975 * `truncate` - Set to a number to truncate URLs longer then the number. Truncated URLs will end in `...` (default: `false`)
976 * `strip_prefix` - Strip the scheme prefix (default: `false`)
977 * `extra` - link URLs with rarely used schemes (magnet, ipfs, irc, etc.) (default: `true`)
978 * `validate_tld` - Set to false to disable TLD validation for URLs/emails. Can be set to :no_scheme to validate TLDs only for urls without a scheme (e.g `example.com` will be validated, but `http://example.loki` won't) (default: `:no_scheme`)
983 config :pleroma, Pleroma.Formatter,
990 validate_tld: :no_scheme
993 ## Custom Runtime Modules (`:modules`)
995 * `runtime_dir`: A path to custom Elixir modules (such as MRF policies).
997 ## :configurable_from_database
999 Boolean, enables/disables in-database configuration. Read [Transfering the config to/from the database](../administration/CLI_tasks/config.md) for more information.
1001 ## :database_config_whitelist
1003 List of valid configuration sections which are allowed to be configured from the
1004 database. Settings stored in the database before the whitelist is configured are
1005 still applied, so it is suggested to only use the whitelist on instances that
1006 have not migrated the config to the database.
1010 config :pleroma, :database_config_whitelist, [
1011 {:pleroma, :instance},
1012 {:pleroma, Pleroma.Web.Metadata},
1017 ### Multi-factor authentication - :two_factor_authentication
1018 * `totp` - a list containing TOTP configuration
1019 - `digits` - Determines the length of a one-time pass-code in characters. Defaults to 6 characters.
1020 - `period` - a period for which the TOTP code will be valid in seconds. Defaults to 30 seconds.
1021 * `backup_codes` - a list containing backup codes configuration
1022 - `number` - number of backup codes to generate.
1023 - `length` - backup code length. Defaults to 16 characters.
1025 ## Restrict entities access for unauthenticated users
1027 ### :restrict_unauthenticated
1029 Restrict access for unauthenticated users to timelines (public and federated), user profiles and statuses.
1031 * `timelines`: public and federated timelines
1032 * `local`: public timeline
1033 * `federated`: federated timeline (includes public timeline)
1034 * `profiles`: user profiles
1037 * `activities`: statuses
1041 Note: setting `restrict_unauthenticated/timelines/local` to `true` has no practical sense if `restrict_unauthenticated/timelines/federated` is set to `false` (since local public activities will still be delivered to unauthenticated users as part of federated timeline).
1043 ## Pleroma.Web.ApiSpec.CastAndValidate
1045 * `:strict` a boolean, enables strict input validation (useful in development, not recommended in production). Defaults to `false`.
1047 ## :instances_favicons
1049 Control favicons for instances.
1051 * `enabled`: Allow/disallow displaying and getting instances favicons
1053 ## Frontend management
1055 Frontends in Pleroma are swappable - you can specify which one to use here.
1057 For now, you can set a frontend with the key `primary` and the options of `name` and `ref`. This will then make Pleroma serve the frontend from a folder constructed by concatenating the instance static path, `frontends` and the name and ref.
1059 The key `primary` refers to the frontend that will be served by default for general requests. In the future, other frontends like the admin frontend will also be configurable here.
1061 If you don't set anything here, the bundled frontend will be used.
1066 config :pleroma, :frontends,
1068 "name" => "pleroma",
1073 This would serve the frontend from the the folder at `$instance_static/frontends/pleroma/stable`. You have to copy the frontend into this folder yourself. You can choose the name and ref any way you like, but they will be used by mix tasks to automate installation in the future, the name referring to the project and the ref referring to a commit.
